Shropshire canal boat holidays22-03-2010 : Canal boat holidays in Shropshire: Plans to extend waterway |
People planning canal boat holidays in shropshire may soon be provided with a new route to explore, after plans to transform and regenerate a stretch of whitchurch canal moved a step closer. On march 17th, the whitchurch waterway trust held a meeting to discuss the possibility of further extending the canal.
The organisation's members supported the idea of expanding the waterway through two bridges and creating a new basin, allowing for the future possibility of extending it further to carry on towards the town with a lock or inclined plane. According to the shropshire star, the project would cost around £350,000 to carry out and would give those on canal boat holidays in shropshire better access to whitchurch, for which the expanded route would become a tourist attraction.
The whitchurch waterway trust was established in the 1980s after the local authority expressed interest in having a canal in the town. |
